This is a Q&A with Jean-Yves Ollivier, films producer and co-director Mandy Jacobsen, co-director Carlos Agullo and Ivor Ichikowitz founder of the Ichikowitz Family Foundation, the producers of 'Plot For Peace'.
This documentary thriller tells the true, untold story behind Nelson Mandela’s release from prison featuring a protagonist straight out of a John le Carré novel. His name: Jean-Yves Ollivier, also known as ‘Monsieur Jacques’. To some, such as South Africa’s former President Thabo Mbeki, he was a mysterious French businessman or a French spy. For others, he was a trusted friend and a man of bold vision. For the first time, heads of state, generals, diplomats, master spies and anti-apartheid fighters reveal how ‘Monsieur Jacques’ positioned himself to be the improbable key to Mandela’s prison cell.
